'Dale Posted July 25, 2021 Share 38 years old, the powerhouse that is AvV - silver, wow, what a bike rider. Somehow she had matches left after that earlier attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCA12 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Seems like the Peloton (or at least the Dutch) didn't realise Kiesenhofer was up the road Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbz Posted July 25, 2021 Share Kiesenhofer, a recognized time trialist but without a WorldTour team or any teammates in the race, came into the event as an absolute outsider for a medal but a perfect storm of questionable tactics from the major nations – especially the Netherlands - and incredible legs from the 30-year-old were enough to seal the gold medal in dramatic style. What a ride. I really am a fan of no radios in racing Underachiever, Rowl, Scary Rider and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a deserving win for Keisenhofer. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCA12 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Ja it is great without radios. But I can't believe they didn't know. But brilliant from Kiesenhofer to win from the original break at km 0 Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted July 25, 2021 Share Sometimes the break stays away ,... Annemiek not looking chuffed. Looks like she thought she got Gold. Apparently trained in a sauna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton. Posted July 25, 2021 Share In her post-race interview on BBC, Lizzie Deignan stated that she thought the best lady won today, Annemiek van Vleuten ???? The peleton (and the Dutch) really didn't know that Kiesenhoffer won. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they would have known someone was up the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton. Posted July 25, 2021 Share And no other riders came up to congratulate Anna Kiesenhoffer after the race. Nobody knew. She was standing there all by herself after the race. So weird to see it like this! Underachiever, DieselnDust, Wayne pudding Mol and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 25, 2021 Share Persistence. Resilience. Dogged belief. Anna Kiesenhoffer have lost her WorldTour contract a few seasons ago, kept on rolling and have likely reignited her career, if she chooses to say yes to new professional offers for 2022.

buckstopper Posted July 25, 2021 Share Who dares wins! Well done to both Austria, and Kiesenhoffer and Ecuador, and Carapaz yesterday. And to the greedy wheelsuckers, sorry for you. Ignorance meh geomark, Hilton., Vetplant and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
